— It might be possible to destroy them. With fire magic, but I don't know about artifacts. The Serpent's priest is dead, and the priest of Elyssa left over a year ago. The All-Seeing Ones guide us on our path. The gathering and hunting party should return soon, and there's no one else. No.

- How many hunters and gatherers are in the squad?

— Six.

the priest of Elysia left more than a year ago.

probably, he went to the Dark Tower. Or joined the Knights of Haven. And now he wants to destroy his former comrades.

Kafira and the slaves head towards the church, hiding in the bushes (Kafira might be in a tree), setting up an ambush. One warrior enters the church and lures the priest outside. When he comes out, the warrior attacks from behind, and the others also attack from the ambush. Kafira subdues the priest if it's still worthwhile.
The rest of the group stays in ambush, waiting for the cultist hunters. Benji retrieves Aloris's corpse and gives him his sword.

Kafira tells Rishu at the end to protect her friends and obey them.

One warrior goes to a church and lures a priest outside.

And what does he say to him?

Aloris asks for help in the battle against the enemies, as they have too many strong and powerful warriors. Magic is needed. The warrior, of course, doesn't say anything about us, or about ambushes, and so on.

Ah, yes. Sitting in a tree, Kafira watches for Bran.

Aren't you ashamed of deceiving people?

Aren't they ashamed of hitting our scouts on the head and turning tanks into stone?

they were the first to start, so they should have said it right away that they were cultists.

I would do exactly the same if bandits came to my lands.

Well, we're not bandits.

Yes?
